Finally, a good Colombian spot and this one also serves delicious Peruvian food. Portions are great but more importantly the food actually tastes amazing! Must try! Will be coming back. Great addition to the downtown area and in my opinion, it's the best restaurant Cranford has to offer when it comes to food. Side note, the empanadas are the crispiest I have ever had and they make them per order so they're always fresh!

10/10 would recommend bringing friends or families to enjoy these enriching peruvian meals! They are also very versatile with language (English/Spanish)! Please pay a visit if you are looking for a restaurant to eat and enjoy yourself in.

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Mayra Tixi · Dec 2025

Chicken soup is terrible. Has no flavor and it was exactly like a chicken soup you can get at ShopRite. As a Latin American when you order chicken soup, you’re expecting lots of vegetables and some flavor, not just 2 peas and some tiny pieces of carrot. This was so overpriced and not worth it at all.

★★★★★ 5.0 Tatiana Leon · Oct 2025

Love this place! Mateo’s Bakery and Restaurant has amazing food and the best fresh-baked bread. The staff is super friendly, and the atmosphere feels cozy and welcoming. Definitely one of my favorite spots in town!
